Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic solid tumors that express Claudin 18.2.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with tumors that do not express Claudin 18.2 or those who have not progressed after standard treatments may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the safety and tolerability of RC118 in patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic malignant solid tumors that express Claudin 18.2. The study is divided into two phases: Phase I focuses on determining the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) through a dose escalation approach, while Phase IIa assesses the clinical effectiveness and safety of long-term use of RC118 at the recommended dose. Patients with various types of cancers, including gastric and pancreatic cancers, will be included based on their Claudin 18.2 expression status.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced solid tumors that currently have limited treatment options.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies targeting Claudin 18.2 have shown promise, suggesting potential for success with this approach.
